EMMY ELLIS - THE PIG PEN a BRAND NEW gripping Yorkshire crime thriller full of twists (Detective Anna James Book 1)

A BRAND-NEW CRIME THRILLER SET IN YORKSHIRE FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR EMMY ELLIS.

A killer who feeds his victims to the pigs.
A woman who finds her boyfriend’s head in her front garden.
A strait-laced detective who’s drawn to a shady gang member.

Carys Brignell is a young, divorced woman in her thirties. She owns a lovely home in Bishop’s Lock — a perk from her divorce settlement — and has a vibrant social life.

One morning Carys opens her bedroom curtains and sees a head on a spike in the front garden — it belongs to her new boyfriend.

Detective Inspector Anna James is assigned to the case. She quickly learns that fun-loving Carys is a habitual liar and serial bed-hopper. She spends most of her evenings in her local pub flirting with young men, including roguish Joshua ‘Parole’ Cribbins, a member of crime syndicate the Northern Kings.

Then another head is found on a spike on the edge of a field. And this time Anna knows the victim . . .

Someone is targeting male associates of Carys — and ‘Parole’ could be next.

Anna wants to warn him. She’s not sure if it’s out of duty or because she fancies him. But getting involved with ‘Parole’ is a risky game to play.

Then Anna makes a breakthrough in the case that leads her to a farm on the outskirts of town. When she sees the pig pen and scraps of clothing littering the area, the penny drops: the killer is feeding the victim’s bodies to the pigs . . .

This utterly gripping crime thriller is perfect for fans of Martina Cole, Angela Marsons, Helen H. Durrant and Charlie Gallagher.
